Gazprom considers gas supplies to Israel, Italy and Greece

Russian energy giant Gazprom is studying the possibility of natural gas deliveries to Israel, Italy and Greece, a top Gazprom manager said.
"We have plans to increase the capacity of the Blue Stream gas pipeline, and we are considering natural gas deliveries to the Middle East, Israel and other countries, and the initial calculations have shown that this project cant be effective," said Alexander Medvedev, the company's deputy CEO and general director of its subsidiary Gazexport.

He said Blue Stream was able to work at full capacity.
Speaking about possible deliveries of natural gas to southern Europe, Medvedev said he doubted any other gas could compete with Russia's.
